MONDAY'S MAKEUP TIP - MAKE LIPSTICK LAST ALL DAY

I don't know about the rest of you, but I am awful at applying lipstick (and keeping it on), and I usually just skip it, so I'm really excited about today's makeup tip from Elke Von Freudenberg. Now I just need to purchase a lip pencil. To see last weeks' tip, click here.

After blush, do your lips next. To last all day, powder lips first, then apply your lip pencil filling in the entire lip. Don't worry too much about the outline of the mouth. Then, apply your lipstick shade, blot, powder, and apply again. By blotting and powdering, you are actually removing the excess wax in the lipstick that causes it to bleed. Once finished, then apply a light coat of lip gloss if desired in the middle of the bottom lip.
